Let’s Start The Day With Two French Runners Brawling Seconds After Crossing The Finish Line

Mehdi Baala and Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad are teammates on the French track and field team. But from the picture above and the video to follow, it sure doesn’t seem like it.

The fisticuffs started how these things usually start, with someone trying to console someone else. Unfortunately, Baala didn’t want to be consoled and decided that it would be a good idea to head-butt Benabbad. And of course, Benabbad didn’t think that was such a good idea and starting swinging at Baala.
